The tape is a 7.5 inch per second mono recording.  The reel was played
on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and 
built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components
including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR 
electrolytic supply bypass capacitors.  The resulting analog signal was digitized 
by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the 
recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.  
Post processing and was done with Nuendo using Waves Plugins.  Sample Rate
Conversion was performed using R8Brain.  The file was dithered down to a 
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file using Izotope Ozone 3.

Tut Taylor Archive Reel #145 features a jam session with Tut and his picking friends, The Bluegrass Five, 
recorded circa mid-1960's (possibly at the Georgia home of J.R. & Onie Baxter).  While it is not easy to 
distinguish all of the participants, performers include, among others, J.R. & Onie Baxter (guitars and vocals), 
Ron Norman (banjo), and Tut (Dobro) (and likely Hughie Wiley on mandolin).
